The mathematical symbols are aligned... and they're pointing to a greater cash outlay if you want to have (
a legitimate copy of) Hulu on your PlayStation 3.
Technologizer recently discovered the highlighted line above in the source code for the Hulu website, and if correct, you'll need a
PlayStation Plus subscription on top of your
Hulu Plus one in order to stream the best brain-numbing shows from broadcast TV. While that adds up to an additional
$18 for three months or $50 annually on top of your $10 monthly Hulu Plus fee, it's not like you'll get a better deal on a different game console -- Microsoft has confirmed
Hulu will require Xbox Live Gold when it launches on Xbox 360 next year. Besides, this isn't like those janky
Netflix Instant Streaming Discs -- further down the source code, there are hints that Hulu's developing a bona fide app for PlayStation 3. See the relevant section of the code right after the break.

Hey Engadget it's been announced for the XBOX 360 too.
I have both xbox and ps3. But the pluse side for the xbox 360 owners is, the one year gold membership card is always on sale on online retailers for $30 to $35. Which is how much I pay for the xbox gold service. So if you take that route maybe the $10 extra don't look that bad.
As an XBOX owner you are already owned. Pay walls are for slaves.
Oh HELL NOOOO....
Now I understand why Sony removed the ability to use another operating system! So they could f&ck every person that bought a PS3 and charge them for using it!
I am officially DONE with Sony and Playstation!
Damn THIEVES
The real question is when will Hulu get an international launch?
At the moment it's the only appealing part of Playstation Plus.
